Story: From the wackiness of the Neo-Futurists comes the wonderful madness of Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind. Thirty plays are performed in 60 minutes in a random order determined by the audience yelling out which play they want to see next. Based on the premise that it's possible to write a two-minute play with just as much depth, humor and poignancy as something that takes five acts, Too Much Light features a collection of unconventional plays that are smart, funny and spontaneous.

Buzz: The Neo-futurists, a Chicago-based drama/comedy group, have reinvented every aspect of the theater going experience. Their original production of Too Much Light incorporated a few bizarre rituals: the role of a die determined the price of an admission ticket; sold out shows got pizza delivered to the audience; and upon entering the theater, each person was renamed, and received a name tag with a new name emblazoned on the front. Whether the Harvard production of Too Much Light will adopt these odd traditions is yet to be known, but Erica Rabbit '00 promises the show will be "a wonderfully unique theater experience."

STORY: A young woman, Kyra, leaves her middle-aged lover, Tom, when their affair is exposed to his wife. In an attempt to move on, Kyra settles into an existence of solitude. Years later, after his wife dies, Tom suddenly reappears in Kyra's life, and they are both forced to do what neither ever wanted: confront the past. Were they meant to betogether, or was it never meant to be? Skylight shows what happens when those things that are hard to say are left unsaid for too long.
